Caleb Foster’s 2023-24 season may be over, but Duke fans got a promising update on Thursday, albeit a silent one.
The freshman guard was ruled out for the postseason one week ago after he suffered a stress fracture against Wake Forest in February. On Thursday, however, he was seen stretching with the team during a practice session ahead of Friday’s game against Houston.
Devils Illustrated’s Conor O’Neill shared a photo of the first-year Blue Devil on social media. Foster wasn’t sporting the walking boot he wore on the bench after the injury, either.
Duke fans won’t see Foster on the court again until next fall, but the sight of him with the team in March means he’ll almost assuredly be 100% once next season rolls around.
Caleb Foster is going through stretches.
Don't believe his out-for-the-year status has changed — but this is at least a positive development. pic.twitter.com/GvgDbyPY4C

Foster averaged 7.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in his first year with the team, and the North Carolina native made 40% of his 3-point attempts.
